‘This little boy Ilese was abandoned at birth he’s almost 1. The nanny in the orphanage told me that when the babies cuddle they love to feel your heartbeat because all they want is to feel loved.

‘Every single penny raised for @outreachmoldova goes to the children. Im humbled and honoured to be so heavily involved in such an incredible and personal charity.

‘Currently in this particular part of the orphanage there is 1 nanny to 6 babies 😭 our money can pay for a number of things at the orphanage including nannies for the children so not only are their basic needs met but the nannies have time to cuddle and love them too x’.
